Out at least four weeks Hwang (hamstring) is expected to miss four-to-five weeks, according to manager Julen Lopetegui.

Impact This is further confirmation on the injury for Hwang, who had started six-straight league matches prior to this hamstring injury.

Impact It's unfortunate for Hwang, who was on his sixth-straight start with the club following the World Cup. While he's struggled for goals this season, he's done enough to earn the favor of the new manager. With an expectation to miss time, Adama Traore is an option to enter the XI, though there are a few players Lopetegui can turn to.
